Marking Scheme for Experiment 5C Thermometric Titration

All temperature recorded to nearest 0.5

Unit for final column is cm3. Value either 3 sf or 4 sf

The graph produced a curve when temperature increasing and straight line when temperature
decreasing.
Intersection between the curve and the straight line represent end of reaction with highest
temperature recorded
Let the volume of NaOH at end point = x cm3
conc of H + in FA6 x vol of FA 6 1
=
vol of NAOH in FA1 x vol FA 1 1
Conc of H+ in FA 6 =

x 2.00
50

1n 1 dm3 of solution contain y mol of H+ from HCl and 2y mol of H+ from H2SO4.
Hence, 3y = conc of H+ in FA 6.
1
conc of H + in FA 6
3
If y calculated as 0.800 mol dm-3 will have full marks.

Therefore y =

Max capacity of measuring cylinder is 50 cm3

Graduation of measuring cylinder is 2 cm3 hence precision is 1 cm3
Percentage error is

1
2%
100% =

Total error for one burette reading is 0.05 + 0.02 = 0.07 cm3 hence max possible error to read the
difference is 0.14 cm3.
Percentage error =

0.14
100% =
0.63%
22.10

Percentage error of reading 3.00 cm3 of burette =

0.14
100% =
4.7%
3.00

Reading the burette will give higher percentage of error as the volume of burette reading is too
small while the volume of measuring cylinder read is large.
